Review summary

The cheapest cruise i have but the worst experience too. How I wish they have Disney here, its Ok to pay more because money its just come and Go But time is what we don’t have. And Everyone deserves for what we pay for.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Easy to check in and people in Embarking was very welcoming that they are very exciting to see you and I really appreciate it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
8 deck in Lido, our service was Mr Vincente. He is very pleasant person. He served us very well nothing i can say bad, i been crusing for 11 times, and this is the first time we do 3 nites trip. Buffet was fine nothing special but not really bad too. But if I could stay for 4 more night I think ill be ill be sick eating the same thing, not enough variety to choose but enough for threes nites trip.

Onboard Activities

None that i like from what i have experience in Disney, Princess, Celebrity, and Royal ships. But the ferwell show was very entertaining but not for kids.

My wife had a great blast in spa she spent almost $450 for 100 minutes, she said its all worth it. And I appreciate the free steam room. Some cruise have to pay for it.

Ship Quality

It’s old from inside and out. From top to bottom. From inside and outside my stateroom. The cleanliness was sparkling clean and no smell.

Cabin / Stateroom

The guy who always clean we bearly see him. Room was clean and descent to sleep.

Ship tip

I think it starts from people who serve the customers. After I left the Embarkation, the people in the ship was very pleasant to us. For them it’s just Work. They are not very happy or to see us. Im talking about general experience. From customers service, shore excursions, photographer and i spoke to manager too she is from India. They are not very welcoming people. You need to trained this people to smile, if you need to pay extra I think you should but it’s there job to smile. I always give extra gratuity for the people who deserve it and i just give few, because of that I brought more tip money to home.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was nice and organized. But to early that I feel someone kicking me out of the ship. After that you done next people. Thats what I always feel this experience not Royal experience just Carnival experience. But for the record Disney no one can beat that Company have it twice super expressive but its all worth it, from first day to last I felt like a king and very spoiled.
